At least 3 killed in attack on key Ukrainian port of Odesa

The Black Sea port of Odesa experienced a rare attack, resulting in the death of at least three individuals and injuring 13 others.

Simultaneously, in the eastern Donetsk region, three civilians were also killed in overnight incidents. Moscow has yet to provide an official response regarding the alleged strikes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently declared that Ukraine’s counter-offensive was unsuccessful, causing significant losses for their army.

These statements coincided with Kyiv’s efforts to push back against Russian forces, leading to the recapture of seven settlements according to Ukrainian sources.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine emphasized progress and advancements in several areas during the counter-offensive, highlighting a positive movement forward.

The Ukrainians say they’ve liberated just over 3 sq km (one square mile) of territory over the last three days.

Spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andriy Kovalyov, told the United News TV marathon that troops had advanced by distances ranging from 200m to 1.4km (0.9 miles).

Alluding to the situation in the south, Kovalyov added: “In the Berdyansk direction, hostilities continue in the vicinity of the village of Makarivka. Fighting is also under way in the vicinity of Novodanylivka and Novopokrovka.”
